Considering the current state of the Los Angeles Lakers, every fan was anxiously anticipating last Tuesday’s match. Playing against the Orlando Magic, the game concluded with a 129-110 score. There was an outstanding performance by the players, with LeBron James scoring 28 points. Russell Westbrook‘s performance was also exceptional. He recorded another triple-double to add to his NBA all-time scoring record.
As a result of the win, King James traveled to Miami to play his next game on Wednesday. Although Tuesday’s game was against the Miami Heat, the first thing James wanted to do was celebrate his victory. And he did so in a style. Notably, the Lakers‘ current stats aren’t very impressive.

It is important to note that while the current situation in the league compared with other teams is not very good, this win gave the Lakers a chance to celebrate. With a record of 14-20, the Lakers are still struggling. And their future will be similar to the last season if they do not improve their game.
Celebrating his recent win, LeBron James chose to smoke a hookah
Recently, TMZ published a video and image in which James can be seen celebrating the victory with hookah. According to the video, he took several puffs while blowing smoke into the air. As a result, fans began flooding Twitter with comments about their celebrations.
Some fans even suggested he was copying Luka Doncic, especially after Doncic made hits on the NBA court last game. After this celebration, some were even concerned if James would be able to play. There have even been some comments about the stress he is taking on with the Lakers. The following comments are trending on Twitter right now.

LeBron saw people taking pictures of him, left after only being there for 15 mins (according to the article) probably because of it, and thought “God damn, now I HAVE to play in Miami” all the way back to the hotel 😂😂😂 https://t.co/CA2QcBRYUm
